PHP printing HTML tags...

cyronuts

Hi,

I am working on code to allow users to upload html code (tags) and text to the mysql db and then have the code spit back just the text (not the tags as well):

for ($i=0; $i <$num_results; $i++)
{
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
echo " HTML Page name: ";
echo htmlspecialchars( stripslashes($row["html_page_name"]));
echo " HTML Code: ";
echo htmlspecialchars( stripslashes($row["html_page_code"]));
echo " ";

}

This is printing the html characters as well.

Any ideas? I know this is probably pretty basic, but I am relatively new at this. Thanks in advance. Craig

seems like the php function strip_tags() might work. Try it and see. Hope this helps.

Why not do a simple str_replace on the < and > ? Replace them with the ascii code or just null values.
